Dbus-sharp is a fork of ndesk-dbus, which is a c# implementation of d-bus. it's often referred to as "managed d-bus" to avoid confusion with existing bindings (which wrap libdbus).

d-bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications. conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and corba in terms of complexity.

this package contains the dbus-sharp library itself.
